"...it's way too late on the freak out," Peter admitted quietly, his eyes half closing and unconsciously leaning slightly into Simon's touch. "But-" he followed up with quickly, his fingers flexing once at his side before meeting Simon's eyes, "I want to stay." It was true, what he'd said to Caleb. Even if he still felt uncertain about whether or not he could do this, he wanted to stay here and learn more because it was learning more about Simon.
Actually, what bothered him more was, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you." That was worse than his being upset. Things were coming faster than he could process them, and he was trying hard to keep up with the ideas from twenty minutes ago and have them make sense to understand the new input, but he was trying. He wanted to keep trying, as long as Simon was okay with it.
Dawww Simon <3
